This is not for a beginner

My experience with puzzles has been limited to doing the daily crossword and sudoku about every other day or less. I use a dictionary and Google for words I don't know and give sudoku as much time as I can spare. I would categorize myself as a casual puzzle player. Out of curiosity and an interest in broadening my mind I picked this book up thinking that I could work my way through harder more challenging puzzles. The puzzles are set up on a daily schedule which is supposed to get increasingly more difficult as you go on. This was not the case. I got through day one and enjoyed the puzzles, but on day two I absolutely could not conceive of getting through the more difficult puzzles in a week let alone one day. They were just too advanced for me as someone starting out.
I would not recommend this book to someone like me who is just getting into puzzles and wants to "train their brain." This book is for a more advanced puzzle player who is looking to sharpen instead of develop their skills.
